Catalytic wood stoves Offering higher efficiency heating, catalytic wood stoves are ideal for those who wish to replace a major portion of their heating needs with their wood stove. • Higher efficiency lowers fuel costs to heat your home. • Longer, more even heat output. • Advanced features such as top-loading convenience and automatic thermostatic air control.
Non-Catalytic wood stoves Non-catalytic wood stoves are slightly more affordable and require less maintenance. Easy to start and operate, a non-catalytic wood stove is ideal for those with less heating demands. • Lively, aesthetically pleasing flames. • Easy to use and maintain.

Plus, it’s safer and virtually eliminates the escape of embers during loading. Front-loading is also available for your convenience.

1. When a rear heat shield is installed on a top exit stove, the shield insert must be attached to the shield so the area behind the flue collar on the stove is protected. 2. Chimney connector heat shields must extend exactly 28" (710 mm) above the flue collar of the stove. No shielding can be used on the connector above 28" (710 mm). The unshielded chimney connector above the 28" (710 mm) point will be 14" (360 mm) from an unprotected wall or 8" (203 mm) from a protected wall. 3. In top exit installations, this clearance requires the use of the rear stove heat shield with the shield insert installed.

non-Catalytic Wood Stove
Compact Design Perfect for home or cottage, the Aspen offers the warmth and delight of a wood burning fire in even the smallest of spaces. With a lower height, the smallest of the non-catalytic wood stoves from Vermont Castings offers the benefits of a larger stove — but in a smaller, more compact package. Radiant Heating Though small in stature, the Aspen is designed to deliver great heating results for its size. The I.R.-Coated Ceramic Glass provides warm, radiant heat while offering a beautiful view of the dancing, wood-fire flames. Form and Function The top plate cooking surface offers the look of classic style while also providing a convenient place to warm food items like soup. classic black

1. Shielding for a top exit stove must include the stove rear heat shield insert to protect the area behind the flue collar. 2. Chimney connector heat shields, in an installation that goes through a combustible ceiling, must extend to 1" (25 mm) below the ceiling heat shield, which is 22" (559 mm) in diameter. The ceiling heat shield should be 24 gauge or heavier sheet metal, centered on the chimney connector, and mounted on noncombustible spacers. 3. Rear exit — horizontal from flue collar directly back through wall. 4. In top exit installations, this clearance requires the use of the rear heat shield with the shield insert installed.

Burn times and heat outputs are based on laboratory testing using full loads of seasoned hardwoods, and may vary depending on how the stove is operated, type of wood and other factors. Average heating capacity is based on operation in building code-conforming homes under typical winter climate in New England, and also may vary. Efficiency ratings are based on independent laboratory testing. See owner’s manual for complete installation and clearance requirements. All Vermont Castings stoves meet Washington State emissions standards.
